Turn It On Again: New Genesis Anthology Features Greatest Hits, Solo Tracks From Collins, Gabriel, More

August 25, 2014 By Joe Marchese Leave a Comment

Genesis - R-Kive

Earlier this year, the BBC confirmed plans for the feature-length documentary film Genesis – Together and Apart, chronicling the ups and downs of the 2010 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees.  On the heels of that project which featured the cooperation of Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Tony Banks, Mike Rutherford and Steve Hackett, Rhino (for North America) and Universal (for the rest of the world) have announced the September release of R-Kive, a 3-CD collection continuing the “together and apart” theme.  R-Kive will present a selection of Genesis’ greatest cuts alongside solo and band tracks from each member.  If you were ever looking for one compilation with “The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway” alongside “Easy Lover,” this is the release for you.

R-Kive is culled from a 42-year period (1970-2012) in which the members of Genesis racked up 14 No. 1 albums in the U.K. alone, and some 300 million records sold worldwide.  The chronologically-sequenced anthology is the first to combine band and solo tracks, but the third overall for the band following 1999’s Turn It on Again: The Hits (reissued and expanded in 2007) and 2004’s three-disc Platinum Collection.  (Mention should also be made of Starbucks’ career-spanning Opus Collection volume, 14 from Our Past, which arrived in 2007 to coincide with the Banks/Collins/Rutherford reunion tour.)  It surveys the band’s entire prog-to-pop journey.

In addition to 22 songs pulled from all of Genesis’ studio albums, each member is represented with three “side” tracks.  From Collins, you’ll hear the hit Philip Bailey duet “Easy Lover” plus “In the Air Tonight” and more surprisingly, “Wake Up Call” from 2002’s Testify.  Gabriel’s solo catalogue has yielded “Solsbury Hill” plus “Biko” and “Signal to Noise.”  Hackett is represented with “Ace of Wands” (1975), “Every Day” (1979) and “Nomads” (2009); Banks with “For a While” (1975), “Red Day on Blue Street” (1991) and the collection’s most recent track, “Siren” (2012); and Rutherford with three songs from Mike and the Mechanics: “Silent Running,” “The Living Years” and “Over My Shoulder.”

Hit the jump for more details including the complete track listing and pre-order links!

R-Kive is due in stores on September 22 in the United States, and one week later in the United Kingdom.  It can be pre-ordered at the links below.  The release will be followed by the U.K. broadcast of Genesis: Together and Apart on the BBC in early October and the accompanying DVD Sum of the Parts on November 18.  With Messrs. Gabriel, Collins, Banks, Rutherford and Hackett having worked together on the documentary film as well as on R-Kive, hopes are high that the next chapter of the Genesis story might include a full reunion tour or performance.  Stay tuned!

    This is a shame. Genesis could have really done something special; unreleased tracks, a couple new recordings on an e.p. etc. Instead we get this...a true disappointment. While I am sure the documentary will be something special (At least I hope so!) this is not. For those who have to have it all only.

    Dumb name, ugly album cover, incredibly disappointing collection of songs (the solo stuff is especially baffling). Pass.

    I can't imagine what the record company was thinking to go with this cover design. It has to go down as one of the all time worst. Did the band members have any input?

    never been a fan of anything by anybody in this group, but I agree, as a graphic designer, it's a really odd cover…..the magnetic-styled letters of the band name aren't TOO crummy, just not imaginative, and the person's profile in the shadow is kinda interesting, but yikes, the "R-Kive' font is hideous, and doesn't even fit at all with the rest…….
